OOOPS!!

Like everyone else, I know better! I know that it is way too easy to slip back into old habits. And I did it – – –

I knew by my clothes and my discomfort level that I had gained weight, probably a lot of it. I had a simple solution – avoid the scale.

This morning I finally decided to face the facts and got on the scale. . .

In my defense, not that it really matters, I have had a very tough year. Half of it was spent taking care of my mother, then her death and the subsequent grief. Over and above that I pushed to finish my BA, lived through house remodeling and cared for a dying friend.

And when the going gets tough — I eat!! It’s really not so much about what eat as much as it is about how much. Although continually munching on carbs and nuts is never a good idea!

The inevitable result is I am up ten pounds. Ten pounds I can ill afford. My cranky joints remind me of that constantly! If I don’t get back on track I will soon hit the dreaded obesity mark! Ouch!!

This is my public resolve to eat less quantity, carbs and fats and to load up on fresh veggies and exercise!
